incomplete listing of a directory, sometimes getdents loops until out of memory

Ah, I did not know that about 0x7ffffffff.  Is it of note that the
clients do *not* get this?

This is on an NFS mount, and the volume has nfs.enable-ino32 On.  (I
should've pointed that out again when Jeff mentioned FUSE.)

Side note -- we do have a couple FUSE mounts, too, and I had not seen
this issue on any of them before, but when I checked now, zero
subdirectories were listed on some.  Since I had only seen this on NFS
clients after setting cluster.readdir-optimize On, I have now set that
back Off.  FUSE mounts are now behaving fine again.

Thanks,

John
